CRAFTING FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING
It's now well recognised that working with your hands in a relaxed, focused way is good for your well being. It distracts your busy mind, reducing stress and anxiety. Your brain releases Serotonin, making crafting a natural anti-depressant. It also improves both gross and fine motor movements and mental agility and decreases cognitive decline. Anything that get's you off gadgets and screens is a form of self care. It can be very satisfying planning, implementing and completing a small project. And giving a hand made gift for special occasions is great for self esteem. With all of these benefits, if you haven't already taken it up, it's never to late to start.
